South Asia refers to the region inclusive of modern-day Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. It might seem arbitrary at first glance, however, these countries have overlapping histories, religions and cultures that connect them together. In order to understand the political and cultural histories of the region, it is important to trace the regions thrust into the global order in the last 150 years with British colonial rule and the nationalist resistance to it. This course will begin with the 1857 revolt against British imperial power on the Indian subcontinent and end with reflections on the politics and culture in the region, with a focus on the contemporary states of India and Pakistan and to a lesser degree Afghanistan and Bangladesh. We will use a wide variety of sources from contemporary documentaries, fiction, and journalistic accounts of South Asian politics and society.

3 hours Haunted S. and SE Asia Ghosts, spirits, apparitions: how might these powerful figments of the imagination function as methodological tools for examining political, social, and cultural concepts and contestations? Drawing on hauntological approaches, we will consider how spectral presences evoke unresolved pasts, marginalized communities that refuse to be erased, or the crisis of climate change. This seminar will investigate some of the earliest images of spirit deities and ghosts in ancient South and Southeast Asian art, cursed objects from colonial India, and haunted havelis. We will pay special attention to filmic images of the unruly dead. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago.
